After thirteen years of service, Father John Regan is leaving our parish on June 30 for his new assignment as Priest in Residence at St. Thomas the Apostle in Naperville.

We have been incredibly blessed to have Father Pat and Father John as shepherds for so many years. They will both be greatly missed.

In gratitude for their time with us, and to wish them well in their upcoming endeavors, we are having a farewell dinner on Saturday, June 28, at 5:00 p.m. in the gym. All parishioners are welcome to attend.

We will also host a cake reception in the Gym after all Masses on Sunday, June 29, for both priests. Please join us as we say farewell to Father Pat and Father John.
